Implantation Bleed??

[saror]

Hello beautiful ladies,

I just noticed on my Pessary a streak of blood which was little dark in color and not bright red. It didn't come on the tissue but on pessary when I inserted & took it out. Sorry for the details. Can it be implantation bleed? I have minor cramps now too & little back pain. In a normal cycle my AF should be due on or before 8th of this month. Its day 7-8 post ET. I'm more worried now. As I did HPT out of curiosity & it came out -ve today just before this bleed. I'm using tissue again & again to check whether it is implantation bleed (should be minimal) or actually like AF. Its very confusing. What to do?

I had brown bleeding 5 days past, a negative test at 7 days past. Then a positive at 8 days past. Hang in there.

The bleeding could be implantation but could also be caused by the pessaries. I ended up alternating mine between front and back (sorry TMI) as I would get little spots of bleeding (even after my BFP) so the clinic advised me to do that. I was on Cyclogest twice a day.

All symptoms can be AF or could be the sign of a positive test. So difficult and sooo cruel. Hang in there, try and distract yourself until OTD.

In my 2ww I had cramps too and I just felt like AF was coming.

Wishing you so much luck xxx

Thank you so much for this London_Lady1. Last night was just on the pessaries & brownish color but today it really feels like AF with cramps, lower back pain & even pain in the legs.. but waiting on my clinic's further instructions. Will continue with Crinone BD untill then.. but its hard now to keep hopes up.. thank you.. 👍👍

Have everything crossed for you. My cramps have been the main symptom of my whole pregnancy. Sometimes I forget im pregnant because it feels like I'm on my period. I think the midwifes are fed up about me asking if cramping is normal! See what your clinic says and try and stay positive until/if you hear otherwise. Xxc

Hi saror. Probably just down to the pessaries irritation your cervix a little. You could try using them in your back passage to give "the front" a rest for a couple of days. Hopefully all will settle down soon. Good luck! Diane
